Le Cercle Français de Brighton et Hove

In
the dark days of August 1914, the population of Brighton and Hove was
taking to its heart the plight of Belgian refugees who had been bombed
and bayoneted out of their homes in Antwerp, Namur and Liege. Many of
these refugees spoke only Flemish. Some spoke only French. It was this
latter group which drew the attention of the Francophiles in our city.
